I would absolutely recommend Bastyr to anyone looking to gain science-based nutrition knowledge and is eager to share it with others. The curriculum was challenging and hard work, but I learned an incredible amount, met some amazing people, and had so much of fun while doing it. The professors are helpful and knowledgeable in every way.

My favorite part of the program were the hands-on cooking classes that take the classroom knowledge and bring it to life in the kitchen. Since graduating, I now work for Enclave, a restaurant specializing in food as medicine, bridging the gap between the health care and culinary arts.

At Enclave we conduct nutrition consultations, lab work, assessments, and actually deliver food prescriptions to clients. I have also expanded my website LowWasteWellness.com, conducted numerous cooking demonstrations, and presented research at a conference. The program at Bastyr gave me the knowledge, skills, and confidence to share nutrition knowledge with my local community and beyond.
